/ dental prostheses
Spanish term or phrase: cofia
In the context of preparing dental implants, is this a cap or is there any other term? ("Lo primero que hemos de desarrollar es una cofia de cera con un color oscuro... de esta manera podremos interpretar esta cofia como si se tratara de un núcleo metálico"). TIA.

implant
Explanation:
The "cofia", even though the name suggests something else, may be the titanium implant itself -- or else other metal structures. If you go to the following web-page

http://www.dentalcarretero.com/procera.htm

you should be able to work this out from the text and illustrations.

Here is a short extract:-

Procera AllTitan

Cofia de titanio comercialmente puro mecanizado (no colado), para coronas y puentes de hasta tres unidades

El titanio es el metal más recomendable para la realización de estructuras para prótesis dentales. Las dificultades que hasta ahora han existido para trabajar el titanio ya han sido superadas gracias a nuevas cerámicas y procesos de trabajo. Con las cofias de titanio evitamos la utilización de todo tipo de aleaciones dentales como cromo níquel, cromo, cobalto e incluso aquellas de alto contenido en oro.

La estructura metálica carece de porosidad al ser realizada mediante mecanizado.
